[Harp-L] Lesson with Robert Hale

I  just had a great online harmonica lesson with Robert Hale (the  
Duke of Wail) and wanted to post my impressions. He's a good and  
dedicated teacher who had excellent, concrete ideas and  
recommendations to help improve my playing. I hadn't done any Skype  
lessons before but it was fairly seamless process and definitely the  
next best thing to being in-person. His price was very good too, in  
comparison to a few others I've checked. My only caveat would be that  
he doesn't do or teach overblow techniques which, as someone who is  
interested in playing melodies, I'd like to work on. But he gave me  
plenty of other stuff to do, including some things I'd never  
considered that seemed to me astutely appropriate for my level and  
abilities. And he was very encouraging and a genuine nice guy to  
boot. Thanks Robert, I'm going to work on those suggestions!
